Lamar Jackson has almost never lost against the NFC

Designated for return Pierce (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve by Baltimore on Wednesday.

Impact Pierce's 21-day practice window is now open after he's missed the Ravens' past four games while on injured reserve. The big-bodied nose tackle will further bolster an already-strong Ravens run defense once he does return to the lineup.

Shifts to IR The Ravens placed Pierce (calf) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Pierce failed to record a stat across 13 defensive snaps before sustaining a calf injury in the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Browns. The issue now appears serious enough to land Pierce on IR, forcing him to miss Baltimore's next four games. His earliest possible return would be in Week 13 against the Eagles. Expect Broderick Washington to see additional reps with the Ravens' first-team defense while Pierce is sidelined over the coming weeks.

Won't return vs. Cleveland Pierce (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact With Pierce and Brent Urban (concussion) sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest, the Ravens' defensive front is down to Travis Jones, Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington.

Good to go for Week 5 Pierce (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pierce was inactive for the Ravens' Week 4 win against the Bills due to a shoulder injury. The extended rest appears to have done the 31-year-old nose tackle some good, and he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Bengals. Pierce has tallied seven tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defended across three regular-season games.

Won't play vs. Buffalo Pierce (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Pierce was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he suffered a setback and was downgraded to doubtful Saturday. Sunday will be the first regular-season game Pierce will miss since 2022. Pierce's next shot at playing will be Week 5 against the Bengals on Oct. 6. Pierce is the only nose tackle on the Ravens' active roster, so backup defensive ends Broderick Washington and Brent Urban are candidates to see more snaps on the defensive line alongside starters Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.

Doubtful for Sunday Pierce (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Impact Pierce appeared to be past his shoulder injury after practicing in full Thursday and Friday, but he's now in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's contest. If Pierce isn't able to suit up in Week 4 as expected, Brent Urban and Broderick Washington are projected to see more work with the Ravens' first-team defensive line.

Inks extension Pierce and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million extension Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact The 31-year-old has spent six of his seven years in the NFL with the Ravens and he'll remain in Baltimore for through the 2025 season after inking an extension Saturday. Pierce has been having one of the best seasons of his career thus far, appearing in all 16 of the Ravens' games and recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, while also deflecting two passes. Expect the 355-pound nose tackle to continue being a major part of Baltimore's run defense for years to come.

Questionable to return Pierce (neck) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a stinger.

Impact Pierce's stinger is described as in his neck and shoulder area. Given the nature of the game, it would seem unnecessary for him to return if his health is not up to par. While he is sidelined, Travis Jones is the likely candidate to replace him at nose tackle.
